Why We Love This

Tallulah: My Autobiography by Tallulah Bankhead. NY: Harper Brothers, 1952. Early printing. 335 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. This unique copy is signed twice by the iconic midcentury actress. The first is her name in pen on the endpaper, the second is from "Howard" but in her handwriting and with her typical aqua marker. One imagines it might have been to a paramour, and "Howard" was a personal joke. One never knew with Bankhead. Anything was possible.
